Chapter 286 Things Left Unspoken
Landon drove Tessa and Steven back to the villa, but Steven refused to get out of the car.
“Tessa, really-thank you for everything today.”
It was rare to see Steven this serious.

“Hmm. Still being so polite with me?” she teased., “Anyway, it's getting late; go in and get srest. Leave the
contract stuff to Mr. Thorne. You don’t have to worry about a thing.”
If Landon was handling it, there was no way it wouldn't go through. They had nothing to stress about.
Steven glanced at Landon in the driver's seat, then turned back to Tessa, his voice suddenly firm. “Tessa, what |
really want to say is-even for our sake, don’t ever go against your own will.”
Even if the man beside her was Landon, Alpha of the Nightshade Pack, they didn’t want her doing anything she
didn’t truly want to do.
Tessa understood what he meant and couldn’t help but laugh. How could he be this sweet?
“I know what you're saying. Now go on; the others are waiting for you.”
“You're not coming in?”
It wasn’t easy for everyone to gather like this again-and her finals were over now. She should be able to play
music with them again.
“No, I've got other things to take care of.”
“What kind of things? Can we help?”

“It’s nothing serious. Just sfamily matters-not really something you guys can step in on. Focus on your next
album, okay?” she said, offering a casual excuse.
Avery had ended up in trouble because he'd been too absorbed in the music.
But that was also a sign of how much they loved it. So, she’d handle the threats in the background-for their
sake. It was her way of contributing to Avery Band
“Okay... but promise you’ll chang out with us when you're free.”
Steven finally got out of the car, reluctantly, and went to meet up with the rest of the band.
“Captain, Tessa’s really changed. She's still as loyal as ever, but in a lot of ways.... she’s different now.”
“Yeah.” Avery had noticed it too.
But if Tessa didn’t want to talk about it, there was nothing they could do.
After all, it was her own business.

Steven pondered. Still, now that she was with Landon... would Landon really treat her well? Would he end up
hurting her?
“What if Mr. Thorne does hurt her?” Steven still couldn shake his
worry.
Landon was Montedra’s Alpha King-no one dared go against him.
“Don’t worry. No one could ever push her around,” Avery said, trying to reassure Steven-and maybe himself too.
“If Mr. Thorne ever lays a hand on her, | don’t care if it costsmy life-I'll take him down,” Steven said flatly.
“Yeah.” Avery gave that statement a silent nod of approval.
On the drive back, Tessa remained quiet, leaning back in her seat, eyes closed.
“What's wrong? You don’t wantinvolved in this?” Landon asked gently.
He'd fought Evan more than once-he knew how dangerous and cunning the man was. He didn’t want her too
entangled with him.
“No. I'm grateful that you're helping me,” Tessa replied sincerely.
She wasn’t the type to take things for granted; he was just overthinking it,
“Hmm.”
Landon didn't say anything else.

“What was that for?”
“Nothing.”
Landon let out a helpless sigh. This girl's heart is impossible to read.
He was just... lost. That was all.
“I'm heading up. You should get srest too.”
Just as Tessa was about to step out, Landon grabbed her wrist again. She turned back to him, puzzled.
